Rental cars in Florianópolis from $23

If your trip to Florianopolis is all organized but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a helping hand.Plan a stop at Beiramar Shopping Center. It’s one attraction you’ll usually find on travelers’ must-do lists. Hercilio Luz Bridge and Public Market are also nearby and worth taking the time to see.

We know you want to see what your new ride can do. How about venturing out on a day trip to Garopaba? Just 30 miles away, roll down your windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Among your first few stops here should be Ferrugem Beach, Rose Beach and Garopaba Beach. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Brusque, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Dom Joaquim Archdiocesan Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Sculpture Park and Sao Luiz Gonzaga Church.)

Nothing screams vacation like hopping in the car and cruising to the seaside. Florianopolis has some stunning beaches close by, so grab something to read (and a kite if it’s breezy) and head to one of these beautiful options:

• Joaquina Beach (6 miles away).
• Santo Antonio de Lisboa Beach (6 miles away).
• Mole Beach (7 miles away).

If you’re eager to get out and rub shoulders with new people, signing up for an event at Centrosul Convention Center is a great idea. You’ll find it 0.3 miles from Florianopolis, so take a look at the calendar of events and see what grabs you.

Sure, you can do Florianopolis without a rental vehicle. But with loads to see and do here, having one would definitely make your escape a whole lot more fun. If you’d like to get out of the city and into some nature, pick a rental car with a bit of power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you to the surrounding gorges in comfort. Spending most of your escape in the city? An economical, small car is a wise choice. Driving through narrow laneways and squeezing into tiny parking spots will be a snap with one of these.

For some people, owning a luxury vehicle is the stuff of fairy tales. But renting your dream ride is far easier than you think! Experience the thrill of cruising into town in a fancy sports car, even if it’s only for a short while. Or perhaps all you want is a trusty set of wheels to get you quickly from point A to point B. Flashy or frugal? Either way, there’s a rental car to suit your style in Florianopolis.

Thanks to its smaller population, finding a place to park the car in Florianopolis is a relatively easy task. Once you’ve grabbed one, check the signs carefully. There may be penalties if you don’t follow the rules and restrictions.

As with most destinations, you can expect slightly heavier traffic just before and after work during the week. However, with a population of roughly 412,700, traffic congestion isn’t a major problem in Florianopolis.

Generally speaking, your chosen car rental company will charge the amount stated on the fine to your credit card, including local taxes. Or they may forward your contact details to the relevant local authority, who’ll then issue a fine straight to you.
